Episode 28: Who really gets anger? Understanding anger doesn't often happen when we're in the middle of it. But understanding how this emotion works can help prepare us to handle it better the next time around.

The biggest issue we face with emotions is unlearning all the stuff our family, friends and society have taught us. I discuss four falsehoods that were necessary in knowing before I could get a handle on the emotions.

Then, I had to learn what anger was actually about. I use the book The Dance of Anger by Harriet Lerner as well as my own experiences with changing how I utilise anger in my life.
